Is an electrical outlet adapter required in hotels on tour?

Also, trying to limit clothes - best way to get laundry done given land cruise means changing hotels every other day.

    Yes, you will need a UK (not European) plug adapter for your dual voltage electrical items. If you use the hotel laundry services, check with the hotel about turnaround time and plan accordingly.

    Are power pacs dual voltage? What is the best brand of multiple plug strip to travel with.

    If you mean the wall transformer, most are. Read the fine print on it. Hopefully it will say 100-240VAC, 50-60 Hz. If it doesn't, beware.

    For my small batteries in my camera i use the razor outlet in the bathroom. It will fit a 120 volt plug and the charger is dual voltage.

    Most of the hotels had usb outlets. They probably were usb A. I have a small plug that converts my usb c to usb a. Bought on amazon, I think 4 for $5. I think we needed our type g (UK) adapter in one hotel where there were no usb outlets.

    This may not help because the tour starts in Dublin, but when we took that tour, we found a commercial laundry in Dublin that did our laundry and folded it in a couple of hours - and for a very reasonable charge.

    Look here - https://www.mikeandjudytravel.com/2018Ireland-01.htm - just after the picture of the Hotel Conrad, for a description of the laundry place.

    We were doing two tours back-to-back so we had dirty laundry at the start of the Ireland tour.

    I am at the end of my 3 week trip to Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland. Now in Dublin at the Shelbourne Hotel.. No laundry anywhere nearby that I can see.
    As for plugs on these 3 weeks I very often had to use my UK F-plug adapter.USB plugs not very often found in our hotels.The Shelbourne hotel has a clock radio with a USB-A and C charge outlet, at least in my room.

    Look for Bright Wash, 26 Aungier St, Saint Peter's, Dublin. They did our laundry for a very reasonable price and gave it back to us folded in a couple of hours. It's an 11 minute walk from your hotel.
